Shiva Low Pass Filter Setting?

[downsider 10+ year member]

I got my 2 Shivas hooked up to a JBL 600.1 and They dont really start to slam untill the low pass is set to about 120. This is about where I have it set at now, is this about right? Should I go lower? I dont want to ruin my speakers. I did turn all my bass boost off and the level or gain is set at about 75 or 80% with all settings on my head unit flat. Thanks for your help!

If 120 is where you feel comfortable listening to them at, they will be fine reproducing sound in that spectrum..

Pulling the crossover frequency lower will offer you better imaging as the higher setting likes to pull the soundstage backward, but if it images and sounds good to you, relax, and enjoy... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
